thank god the port adelaide jumper issue is put to rest

[ExpectToWin]

Oh god! Not this old chestnut again. Who cares! Everyone knows that the Port Adelaide that entered the AFL was a newly formed club which had its origins in the PAFC of SANFL origin. They were not the same club

but I guess it makes sense that Port Power fans associate the history of Port Adelaide Magpies because of the affiliation. That affiliation has now become a full merger and so I don't see any problem there. The only sticking point is the jumper and frankly the argument has been done to death.


The agreement to allow a Port Adelaide affiliated club into the AFL was conditional on them relinquishing any claim to the black and white and to the Magpies nickname.


END OF STORY! Why do we need to recycle this BS every 6 months?

I am sorry, but you are absolutely wrong on this point. The Port Adelaide Football Club won the second license in 1996 while competing in the SANFL and joined the AFL the following year. There was no NEW club formed as you put it, we simply JOINED.

Not sure we had to relinguish any claim to wearing black and white but if we did, it would have been Collingwood that forced that condition. There is no reason why Port Adelaide, Collingwood and the AFL can overturn this decision somewhere in the future though.

Who are Port Power

 

[ExpectToWin]

If the prison bars are important why not wear them as teal and white? Or teal and black?

Kthxbye.

OK I will be clearer about it. BLACK AND WHITE PRISON BARS.

Its not just the design Prestigerrycomo but the whole package.

Does Collingwood look like North Melbourne? No. So using the Prison Bar jumper with different colours would not achieve anything.

Its all about true identity for me and the black and white Prison Bars identify Port Adelaide more than anything else.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Boring. Port came to the party 100 years after Collingwood. Port were given conditions of entry into the AFL. Port accepted those conditions, and then entered the AFL. Get over it!

Well support them in the SANFL. This is the AFL and there is only one team that wears black and white stripes. That is Collingwood who have had the Magpies as our logo longer than Port. Our club has been in the AFL since 1897, yours 100 years less. Therefore you must submit to our tradition.
Again I repeat to fellow Victorian clubs, if another club came in with a close version of your jumper/moniker you sure as hell wouldn't take it lying down.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

God knows how Collingwood fans watch it on the telly - most of them still only have black and white TVs.

God knows how Richmond supporters watch them while rooting their mothers. See look how much fun stupid stereotypes are.

Port enters AFL under new nickname (thanks to Collingwood's analness)

This is bizarre.

There's no world in which the PAFC would have been allowed to continues using the nickname "Magpies" once they entered a competition where one of the biggest and most famous clubs was already using the name, regardless of what Collingwood thought of that.

This has to be the most irrational reasoning I've ever seen on BigFooty - How could it possibly have one iota to do with "Collingwood's analness"?

 

[Lightning_Rod]

its isnt a merger its a re-unification. and this is bound for the bay as its simply a collingwood troll

 

[mcgarnacle]

How can they merge when Port supporters have been telling me they are THE SAME ENTITY since they entered the competition.

Wouldn't a merger require two separate entities?

Or have the Port supporters been telling porky pies.

are you being inflammatory or just plain-ignorant?

most PA supporters on BF have advocated the fact that the entity that joined the AFL is the PAFC. A new entity called the PAMFC was formed to maintain the PA heritage in the SANFL as the AFL operations werent allowed to share resources with the SANFL operations. Now they can.

Blind parochialism can make persons of below average intelligence totally ****ing dumb. Form an individual opinion FFS, instead of one that merely agrees with the party line of the club you support. Idiots.

this thread couldve been raised by a PA supporter on their own forum. No surprise a COL supporter was following the issue closely and felt the need to drudge up an old chestnut. Even with repeated claims from supporters that their club is the greatest in the league, and premiership to boot, are they still insecure much? FMD!

 

[Godzke]

Port Adelaide Dingbats.

Works for me.

 

[Scodog10]

god knows theres enough teams wearing blue and white these days.

Gotta pull you up there. The two clubs that wear a dark/ navy blue that you could possibly have an issue with are actually older than yours. So if a club has the right to be snippy its Geelong, who Carlton chose to use the same colours as.

To answer the op this one club proposal does the complete opposite IMO, if anything it will spur them on to try even harder to wear the prison bars in AFL matches. I'm a little ticked off at the Collingwood supporter who started this thread as well. The issue has been done to death on here and all its done is bring all the Collingwood haters out of the woodwork.

 

[ROCKETT24]

Collingwood are the Magpies, have always been the Magpies and have a jumper that consists of Black & White Vertical Stripes.

Port Adelaide (AFL TEAM) are the Power. Have always been the Power and have a jumepr that consists of Teal (hehe) White & Black.

Theres no way they could become the Magpies in the AFL.
Theres no way they could use a jumper similar.
Anyone saying Prison Bars isnt sililar...its Black wiht WHite Vertical stripes...see Collingwood Jumper description above.


Port Adelaides SANFL team can wear whatever they want...no-one cares. But in the Big Leagues, with the Big Boys....they accepted the terms of the AFL and they should be made to adhere. Im pretty sure Tassie would accept the "Hobart Power" as thier team if Port Adelaide didnt want it anymore.


AND PLEASE....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD......Everyone STOP saying (use annoying high pitched whingy voice) "Soccer teams use the same jumpers".

1: THIS IS NOT SOCCER.
2: Just because Soccer does something, does not mkae it the norm and certainly does not means EVERYONE should do the same.

Thank you!!! At last sense!!! I'm sure if a team called the tigers entered in Richmond fans would be up in arms.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

mate we can have that debate now, but I have seen so much crap over the last few years by port supporters claiming years of heritage and wanting black and white in the heritage rounds etc, we all know now it was smoke and mirrors.

Port adlelaide magpies play in the sanfl and port Power play in the afl combining the balance sheets to save the port pies seems a great idea.

port Adelaide 17 years of history

this is all incorrect

Port Adelaide in the AFL are the PAFC which were the Magpies in the SANFL prior to 1997. The PAMFC was created in 1997 to play in the SANFL as the Magpies. Its a different club. I was a Port Adelaide Magpie supporter so i know this and this was the reason i stopped following Port Adelaide.
All they have done is merged both clubs to stop the confusion on who is the real Port Adelaide but what it has done it has eliminated all the fans of other SANFL clubs who supported the Power thinking they werent the real Magpies. Its been a total disaster but they are now on the right track IMO

 

[ROCKETT24]

Well i tell you what...i saw 2 designs for the GWS Jumper yesterday on the HS that were early morning and the Orange and Charcoal ahdnt been mentioned.

The First pic was White & Powder Blue hoops.

The Other was Powder blue & Navy Blue hoops....

Needless to say...My blood was boiling.

Thank christ for Orange & Charcoal thats all I can say.

Why did you only join in July this year? We have missed years of wise input. I love this Big League, Big Boy talk as well, do you direct Gay pr0n per chance?

 

[ROCKETT24]

Pretty funny...only in SA would you have to go to such measures to explain to people...who is this team. HA HA!!!

 

[Donakebab]

Putting an issue that no one was discussing to rest by bringing it up, pure genius!

 

[ROCKETT24]

Why did you only join in July this year? We have missed years of wise input. I love this Big League, Big Boy talk as well, do you direct Gay pr0n per chance?

I dont understand what relevance my joining date has...but whatever...simpletons need to be re-assured i spose.

Im surprised you can read these posts...im guessing your stolen computer reads it out for you, my un-educated inbred fellow poster.

Maybe I do direct it, maybe I dont...but we all know you are the lead star and its amazing that your location is "The Bitter End" ( wasnt that your original gay pr0n name) but its no coincidence that you are now refferred to "In the industry of gay pr0n" as...THE GREAT BELL END...hows the re-constructive surgery going on your behind...and hows the calloused throat going...still a bit blistered...well, a horse will do that to you.

Them 2007 Grapes are still a bit sour are they.....

Beautiful. I think we have a young Dovoevsky in our midst.

 

[ROCKETT24]

Quality comeback. I notice it took you a while to reply...DOVOEVSKY...9 letters

Congrats, you passed Grade 2.

Interesting that you say, We have missed years of wise input. When you other comment I love this Big League, Big Boy talk as well, do you direct Gay pr0n per chance? is such quality in itself that we are left wanting for more. If thats what your contributing after 4 years....shame shame. Although, its about the same as your team contributes to the game, so I shouldnt be surprised.


Maybe you would like to actually contribute to the discussion instead of making strange non related comments.

Maybe you wont contribute anymore and will in fact, spare us any more of your pearls of wisdom...

 

[Powerade 08]

Isn't it funny that the only people who struggle with this even when it is explained time and time again is Collingwood supporters?

If the prison bars are important why not wear them as teal and white? Or teal and black?

Kthxbye.

 

[Papa G]

As an outsider it seems to me to be quite simple...

Port Adelaide Magpies formed in the 1800's

Dominate SANFL in latter part of 1900's...

Get admitted to AFL in 1997...

Port enters AFL under new nickname (thanks to Collingwood's analness)

SANFL doesn't want to lose Port team so forces split

New SANFL team is formed - the PAMFC

Both teams struggle thanks to split identity

Both teams merge today

?????????????????

Profit

For ROCKETT24. This in fairly simple terms is what has happened.

Also for ROCKETT24. This post and the other estibador are the only 2 posts on the thread that deserve reading. The rest are stupid and uninformed. The silly Collingwood supporter OP made some sort of tenuous link to the jumper issue regarding the unification of the 2 clubs which really nobody was even thinking about, then ill informed dimwits jump in sprouting off some crap about youse joing da big leagie youse play by our rulz crap. It infantile and boring.

Isn't it amazing how few people actually turn up to Port Adelaide matches.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

For ROCKETT24. This in fairly simple terms is what has happened.

For the last time Port Adelaide Power plays in the AFL. Port Adelaide Magpies play in the SAFL. They are 2 different entities. No one gives 2 shinny shites that Port Magpies were the most sucessful club in the SAFL. THat time is over, start supporting the team created for you in 1997.
There it is spelt out in black and white (and teal).
